=3D=3D Linux news =3D=3D

Marc tested the current 1.6 head against the current Linux mainline =
(rc6+), and we're still good.

=3D=3D Problem reports =3D=3D

=3D=3D=3D RT #131819 (vos size -dump) =3D=3D=3D

Gerrit 10876 seems desirable, but shouldn't block 1.6.8.

Andrew is still working on the bind mount implementation. He's getting =
the impression that Red Hat will do something about the issue, but that =
will probably just buy us time. Marc notes that using =
d_materialise_unique, as proposed on -info/-devel is not an option =
because it's gplonly. He also notes that patches may hit 3.15 (3.14 =
seems very unlikely) that would make d_splice_alias error out if it =
finds an alias, and thus force us to implement some workaround.

[Update: As Andrew reports in =
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2014-March/040608.html, =
it seems the issue will be gone at least in the RHEL 6.6 kernel. No news =
on RHEL5 yet though. A first stab at the bind mount implementation is =
available for review: =

=3D=3D 1.6.7 security release =3D=3D

No news.

=3D=3D 1.6.8 release =3D=3D

Many of the open changes foreseen for 1.6.8 received positive review =
before or during the meeting [update: and most were merged afterwards]. =
No blockers seem to be left. We should be able to get pre1 out shortly =
before EAKC, as planned.
